Well, here I am. I'm back. Leave it to a past college professor to gently shove you back into blogging. A few weeks ago I received a couple of emails. One from Chris Smith, a favorite photo professor of mine (the one that started it all) and one from his daughter, Maggie. Each asking me if I would like to photograph Maggie and Sam's engagement and a possible elopement or intimate wedding in the near future. Of course I would!
The ride through Indiana that morning was lovely to say the least. We had arranged to meet at the top of the hill in the town Aurora, Indiana where Maggie's family is from. On my way there I was pulled to the edge of the river by this massive fog that had swallowed the Aurora boat landing. It was incredible. I pulled over and sent Maggie a message to curve our plans and quickly meet me at the landing. At this point we had never met, I'm almost positive she thought I was completely nuts. She agreed and just as I suspected her and her parents were all there. Camera in Chris's hands. You know, to take pictures of me taking pictures of his daughter and soon to be son in law. Talk about full circle!
We ended up having such a good time running around both the landing and the historical Veraestau home on the hill. Maggie and Sam are such a beautiful sincere couple and it was fun to watch them gradually get comfortable with me and the camera. they even hiked some hills with me which is always a bonus in a client. They eventually forgot I was in front of them and I just could not get enough of their love in that light. I cannot wait to photograph their simple, summer, romantic wedding. Whats a better way to jump back into my blog than with the celebration of
maggie and sam.
